Hey bud, idk the most about trucks i'm delving into that arena now with my truck, depending on your current set up, im guessing bigger blocks in the back and larger shocks, and springs for the front end? Hope it helps man.

What makes you think you have a lift on it? You could crank your torsion bars and put a bigger block or an add a leaf in the rear.

FYI-there was no such thing as an FX4 f150 in 1997. There was a 4x4 with an off road package that is basically the same thing minus the fake rancho shocks.
